In planthe machine is b an ellipse with its sides flattened. 7

A base'member 40, Fig. 5, which'rests upon the floor, supports aframework which in turn carries the operating mechanisms of the machine.Two upright shafts 4:2 and 44, Figs." 1. 3 and 5. carry, respectively,

sprocket wheels46 and 4&8 whichrotate in the same horizontal plane andhave evenly spaced notches 50 in their peripheries. 18in endlesscarrier. consisting of thirty-six' heel building and pressing devices'pivotally connected together in the manner ofthe links of a chain isarranged to engage the sprockets 46, 18 and to be supported and moved.thereby. Each of the said building and pressing devices consists ofareceiver unit designated generally by the reference '.numeral 51,.which'will be described in detail hereinafter.

Referring particularly to Figs. 5 and 61 .13v is a perspective, View ofa detail the lower end of the shaft 42hassecured to it a worm wheel 52which meshes with a worm" 54 upon a horizontal shaft 56 disposedtransverselyof the machine. The shaft 56 "has secured to it a gear 58and a cain'f60. "The cam engages a stat onary camaroll 62, and'the gear58 is driven bya pinion" 6 1 se-- cured to' a shaft 66, to which isalso. secured a worm wheel 68 driven by V a worm 7 0 mounted upon thearmature shaft 72of an electric motor T l, which supplies the power fordriving the entire machine.

The cam 60,'cooperatingwith" the stationary roll 62, causes the shaft56, when it '10- tates, to'reciprocate in the direction of itsfi" axis.This reciprocating mot-ion, combined with the rotation of the shaft,causes the worm wheel 52 to rotate-step by step, each step covering onetwenty-secend of 8. 00111 plete revolution. 7 V for securingintermittent rotary motion is This. form of mechanism well known andneed not be-describedin further detail. It will be understood that thisstep by step motion is' imparted to the sprocket 46 and the endlesscarrier consisting 'ofthe units 51." The sprocket 48rotates idly andserves merely as a support and guide for the extended part of theendlesscarrier.

' The front portion of the machine is surrounded by a semicircularseries of sub stantially idei'itieal liftmagazines 76, Fi g..

they are arranged parallel to, and outside the path of, the endlesscarrier. azine T6 is provided with a cooperating mechanism for removinglifts one at a time from the bottom of the magazine, transfer ring theliftsto, and assembling them in, the units 51 of the' endless carrier.mechanism will also be described in full detail hereinafter. 5

The member 78 constitutes the'rearportion ofthe magazine and is adapted to engage the rounded. rear edges of theheel lifts stacked therein;

The breast corners ofthe lifts are engaged and guided by two angularmagazine members 86 and 88 which are adjustable toward and from eachother, transversely of the lifts, by means of right and left screws 90and92. A knob 94: is provided for ef fecting. this adjustment andoperates the screws 90, 92 simultaneously and equally through gears 96,98 secured to the knob shaft 100 and meshing respectively with 1 iespective right and leftscrews, A

The slide-202 ismovable horizontally in radial guides 204formed in a stationary table 206'b0'lted to the frame of themachine, andwhenthe. slide .202 is in lift receiving position, beneath the magazine76, one of the gear members 220 engages an adjustable stop screw 224,causing the jaws 214.-to be held open. vThe position of the-breast gage206 is controlled a bell. crank lever 226,.one

end of which engages in a recess in the lower 'faceof the slide 208 andthe other end of which carries cam roll. 228, engagingin a'stationary'cam 230 mounted upon the table. 206.

As the said 7 'slidestarts 'to move toward. the leftthe pusher'162 alsomoves in the samedirectiony As soon as thespace.betweenithe-element 132 andthe dog 126 is taken .up the pusher 120begins to movetoward the left, pushing the .lowermostllift in themagazinefahead ofit up, the inclined, upper face of the supporting-plate 118., This movement of the lift con-. tinues until the breastedge of the lift drops.

off the supporting plate 116and fal1s upon the table194. The pushersthenmove in the opposite direction, the pusher 162 engaging the rear end ofthe liftandsliding its breast. edge along the table 194 until itsubstantially reaches the breast gage 206. by this time the rear end ofthe lift is pushed off the supporting plate 118 and drops upon the table194, where the lift rests with its'breast edge,

approximately located by the gage 206-and its side edges between thejaws 214 which,

however, are separated by a distance greater than the'width ofthe lift.The'pushers 120 and 162 now come torest and the slide 202 starts to movetoward the right, as seen in Fig. 8, to a delivering position beneaththe heel building device or unit. I

The movement of the slide 202 is produced bya' lever 232 pivoted at 234to a stationary part of the machine and having a cam slot 236 in whichengages a cam'roll carried by a bracket 238. projecting from a movablebeam 240 which is reciprocated vertically by connecting rods 242, ofwhich there are three (see Figs. 5 and The connecting rods 242 areoperated by crank disks 244 upon shafts 246 which are geared together bybevel gears 248 driven from the shaft 66 through a -pinion 250, agear252'and a shaft 254 towhich. one of the gears 248 is affixed. -Asthe beam 240 rises, the lever 232 is swung inwardly vand the lifttransferring carriage supported by the slide 202 is moved 7 1.94. Duringthis action the, lift is moved rearwardly of itself between the sidejaws ing the edge 212 of the lift supporting table 214, the sides ofwhich are corrugated, as showmand whlch offer suflicient res1stance tothe rearward movement of the lift to in :sure'thatlthe breast edge ofthe liftlshall be seated] squarely and accurately against the breast.gage 206, by'the, time the latterhas,

reached its final position. The inward move-L ment of the slide 202continues until the .breastifedge 2120f the table 194 reaches a positionin vertical alinement. withthe breast gage 256 of the heel buildingunit.

It may be convenient at this'point to .'in-

' dicate briefly that the heel building unit is provided with I a liftimpaling pin- 25 8, upon which the lifts are forced one by one as theyare-being assembled with theirbreast 7 edges against the breast gage256.

it, has reached a position in which its breast edge 212 is in alin ement with the breast gage 256, the slide 202 stops, and the support 198,with the table 194, is elevated to force the lift upwardly until it isimpaled upon the pin 258, whereupon the support 198 is caused to descendto its former level and When the table 194, with the lift n" is ready toreturn-to lift receiving position.

For the purpose of elevating the support I 198, each of the brackets 238isprovided with abutmentsf260 (see Fig. .5) adapted to engage the lowerfaces of blocks} 262 (see "Fig. 8) which normally occupy positions,

beneath the lower end of the support 198 and transmit motion from thebracket238 to thesaid support, 7 The downward "movement of the support198 ,is effected by a compression spring 264. I

The, description of lifttransferring mechanism has so far, been basedupon the assumption that the-machine was operating normally and that alift had the operation of the r been delivered from the magazine at theproper time. It may happen,-however, that one or more magazines willfall todeliver a lift when it is required. Under such cir cumstances, itis desirable that'no further lift-s be supplied to the heel which wasintended to contain the missing lift.- To meet this contingencyautomatic mechanism is provided forthrowing'out the succeeding 3magazines of the series.
